pro 7 value lists

in previous versions of filemaker one could use a field from another file and also show a second field from that file and press one of two letters of that second field with the first field pasting into the pertinent field. I am experiencing extreme frustration in pro 7 as the tab cursuor seems ineffectiv e and when I type the first letter or two it does not go to the second field shown. Any help or suggestions?

I hear you!

Be sure you've downloaded the 7.0v3 updater, as this improves the behavior you're describing. From the updater's readme:

1.7.1. Type-ahead now works correctly in a value list that uses related field values and that is sorted by the second field.
1.7.2. Type-ahead in a value list now moves to the next value if the typed character does not exist in the list.
1.7.3. Type-ahead now works correctly in fields formatted as checkboxes or radio buttons using a field-based value list.
1.7.4. All values in a repeating field can now be displayed using a value list based on related field values.
1.7.5. Corrected a problem that could cause sorting based on a value list to fail if the value list was defined in an external file.


Hope that is good news.
